Kate Middleton doesn’t miss a beat (even at Prince Philip’s funeral)

Once upon a time there was a shy bourgeois that even Queen Elizabeth feared could not be up to, nor able to withstand the pressure of the royal family. Ten years later Kate Middleton is a prominent member of the royal family, loved by the subjects, but above all more and more important within the dynamics of the Windsors.

The one who was once nicknamed “Waity Kaity”, due to eight years of engagement with the prince made of ups and downs, today is balance needle, a staple for her husband William and more, as well as being an ace of royal etiquette and protocol.

His fundamental (and flawless) presence appeared before everyone’s eyes at the funeral of Prince Philip, passed away at the age of 99 on 9 April. Kate, of course, was one of the 30 members who were allowed to participate. Elegant, but not too much, faithful to traditions and present companion.

Kate he wanted to pay homage to Queen Elizabeth, alone in her composed pain, wearing a round of Her Majesty’s pearls, which she had already worn for the 70 years of marriage of Elizabeth II and Philip, and which we had often seen around Diana’s neck in the 1980s. She took her seat by herself inside the chapel of San Giorgio, to then wait for her husband to sit next to her, after having accompanied the coffin of grandfather Filippo.

Finally, he played a pivotal role in trying to reconnect William and Harry. On the eve, moreover, a source al Guardian he had anticipated: “The Duchess is deeply saddened by the feud between the two brothers. And he made up his mind: she will be the mediator between Harry and William. ‘

So after seeing the two brothers walking separated by their cousin Peter, son of Princess Anna, and without exchanging even a glance, Kate was the first to speak at the end of the celebrations in Windsor. At the exit of the church, in fact, we saw the three talking. First Kate and Harry, and then Harry and William. As they left the chapel, the three walked together, until Kate decided to take a few steps back, leaving the two side by side. Sure, just a small step, but another big achievement for her. Excellent mediator even in the thorniest matters.

Mother of a future king and two other heirs, trusted companion of the second in line of succession to the throne, an experienced duchess, she was able to put into practice the advice of mother Carole Middleton, the architect of everything. And today it is no longer “by the hand of Mama Carole”, today Kate is on her own, and she’s doing very well. As the queen wanted, she is ready for the role she will one day fill. Good job.
